spanner Posted November 18, 2014 Posted November 18, 2014 Thanks guys. I got the S I thought there were qc or bq issues on the S that's why it was selling for less. Wings are so thin. And those pointy edges. I stressed one already. Anyway, it's hardly noticeable. Now I'm thinking of getting a yf-29 or a renewal vf-25. Well done mate! Nice pickup! long live the 19!!! Quote
ChaoticYeti Posted November 18, 2014 Posted November 18, 2014 (edited) Thanks guys. I got the S I thought there were qc or bq issues on the S that's why it was selling for less. Wings are so thin. And those pointy edges. I stressed one already. Anyway, it's hardly noticeable. Now I'm thinking of getting a yf-29 or a renewal vf-25. The 19F and the 19S come out of the same mold. The only real difference is the painted stripes and the head. You might be able to snag a VF-25S for a decent price soon. Keep an eye out for when the reissue ships. Hopefully there will be some available stock, but it won't last long. YF-29 will probably be more spendy. Edited November 18, 2014 by ChaoticYeti Quote
chyll2 Posted November 18, 2014 Posted November 18, 2014 25F prices are reasonable now. Hopefully, 25S follows that (I doubt it). YF-29, all are expensive except the ISAMU variant. (Alto>ozma>roy>isamu) Quote
wewe Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 Thanks mates. I'm loving the feel of this toy. I transform mine with care. Relishing every step. Yet, the usual issue with the hand swivel connections occurred. Nothing glue can't handle. No biggie. Anyways. I just noticed, there were no plastic wraps for the tires on the copy that I got. Though the wing lights, wing tips, nose cone top part and bottom of the toy had plastic packaging material when I 1st took it out of the tray. Quote
Kanedas Bike Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 25F prices are reasonable now. Hopefully, 25S follows that (I doubt it). YF-29, all are expensive except the ISAMU variant. (Alto>ozma>roy>isamu) The 30th Anniversary YF-29 isn't priced too bad at around 25,000 JPY on Mandarake. -b. Quote
Scream Man Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 I dunno, I got the Ozma for about $260 AUD shipped. And 25F prices are so low because it's been released 4 times. Quote
ChaoticYeti Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 Finally went ahead and ordered a 19P off of HKcollectibles. I have wanted one for awhile, but kept putting it off. It'll be nice to have 1 of each of the chassis variants, YF-19, VF-19s, VF-19p (F and K are just different heads). And to top it off, the VF-19 advance when it arrives. Quote
Mommar Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 Hey, very cool! The 19P is great. I've been fighting purchasing a second one from HKCollectibles for over a year now. The Battroid and Fighter modes look so great I kind of want one in each pose. I would have had my second one if I hadn't been too slow hitting up Scream Man for his custom Skull 19P he sold off several months ago. Quote
Scream Man Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 yep, thought the guy who bought it never posts here, so I haven't seen it since it was sent off Kinda wish I had given it to you Mommar, at least you would have shown off pics! Hey send me another P I'll make you one Quote
ChaoticYeti Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 (edited) Are you saying you'll S my P? Edited January 21, 2015 by ChaoticYeti Quote
mechaninac Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 (edited) ^ That's just so Bad-A$$... far nicer than the standard color pallet. Edited January 21, 2015 by mechaninac Quote
ChaoticYeti Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 Scream Man's customs are pretty sweet. He has skull leader variants for a variety of valks. Quote
derex3592 Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 How much was the 19P after shipping??? Quote
derex3592 Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 There's just somethin about that white that is freakin cool Quote
Mommar Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 yep, thought the guy who bought it never posts here, so I haven't seen it since it was sent off Kinda wish I had given it to you Mommar, at least you would have shown off pics! Hey send me another P I'll make you one If you're serious... Quote
Scream Man Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 Sure! Keep in my I'm in Australia, so shipping is a consideration, but I'm happy to do the paint work. PM me if you're serious and we'll workit out. That goes for anyone interested. i just enjoy doing the paint work. Quote
Sildani Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 (edited) Oh? Do you just do skull leader, or could you do something else? Edited January 22, 2015 by Sildani Quote
chyll2 Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 (edited) @scream man you might be surprise to the number of people that might send their valk to you edit: did you ever tried to do a 25 in jolly rogers/skull leader paint scheme? Edited January 22, 2015 by chyll2 Quote

Scream Man Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 Oh? Do you just do skull leader, or could you do something else? I'm willing to discuss it if you have an idea, sure. But i will mainly repaint stripes and things that don't really rub. I would have to be VERY convinced I would be able to pull it off. @scream man you might be surprise to the number of people that might send their valk to you edit: did you ever tried to do a 25 in jolly rogers/skull leader paint scheme? I dunno i have offered many times, and no one has done it yet You know i DID try and do a 25F that I had broken, but I messed it up, so I never showed it off. I can dig it up sometime, its in a box somewhere. Quote
chyll2 Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 scream man, can you share it as well and tell us what went wrong? My hand is getting itchy lately and I am thinking doing something wrong with my 25F as well. Procrastinating but the plan is there Quote
Scream Man Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 yeah I'll try n find it. i messed up the head mainly. I was aiming to match the stripes, but it just went wrong, and got worse and worse till i ended uo just painting the whole head black. I think i rushed it, it got all gloppy as well. I think I COULD repaint the 25F just fine, though I need to think up a way to properly go over the SMS symbols on the nose. Perhaps we should move this here to my custom thread so that folk can get back to discussing the 19's Quote
ChaoticYeti Posted January 24, 2015 Posted January 24, 2015 (edited) I've been transforming my 19s in anticipation for my 19p to arrive. I do remember putting future polish on the ankles last time I had messed with him. It holds gerwalk better than I remember. No ankle cheat, either. Edited January 24, 2015 by ChaoticYeti Quote
Scream Man Posted January 24, 2015 Posted January 24, 2015 nice Yeti, Yeti! You podcast?Also I love the 19S and F. great planes. Quote
ChaoticYeti Posted January 24, 2015 Posted January 24, 2015 I do a lot of voip for work. I like sounding as clear and un-robot-like as possible with clients Quote

Hey congrats on picking up a 19P! a very beautiful bird indeed! Best of the 19 bunch in my opinion! Quote
Kanedas Bike Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 ^Very, very, very nice. Not a huge fan of M7 Valkyrie designs but I really appreciate the different 19 variants. -b. Quote
ChaoticYeti Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 (edited) I agree. I sat through M7. I will concede that at some point you do care about the characters, more so from attrition than interest. I love the 19, though. It has always been my favorite. Edited January 31, 2015 by ChaoticYeti Quote
technoblue Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 Just say no, to Waldo: <snip> LoL. Yamato did go off the grid with Basara in his Dynamite threads. Those are Fantastic shots with the 19P using Isamu as a stand in. It just goes to show how much more attractive the 19P would have been if it included two pilots rather than just Waldo. Alas, the world is left to wonder why Yamato never made a random Zola pilot or Liza Hollie as an alternative. Quote
ChaoticYeti Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 (edited) Liza would have been great. I like helmet-less Isamu flying around with Millard's son. The helmeted Isamu is either a no name, or Isamu. I am ok with either options Edit: Flawless QC as far as I can tell. *Breath easy* Edited January 31, 2015 by ChaoticYeti Quote
spanner Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 Great pics Yeti! The 19P is a lovely thing eh! Quote
Mommar Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 My 19P took a topple off a very high shelf so one of the rear fins has a dent in the edge of the plastic now. Otherwise it survived the fall and nothing actually broke. Quote
